ADDING VALUE

The Air-Saver is installed just beyond the air receiver tank. It can be programmed toautomatically open just prior to the start of a work shift and close just after the end of thework shift. By doing so you save compressed air and reduce energy costs.

Compressed air leakages are common and more importantly very costly. Graph A and B(next page) illustrate the value of the AIR-SAVER when installed. A typical installation isillustrated below.

In graph A and B the light blue line demonstrates the operating movements of thecompressor, or to put it in other words – ENERGY USAGE.

Graph A shows a compressed air system without an AIR-SAVER installed. At 4 pm theworking shift is over and the compressed air leakages force the compressor to continuallybring the air pressure up to the required level (even though no one is working in thisparticular example).

The result is that the compressor kicked in 20 times during the period in which no onewas requiring compressed air! Compressed air losses occur through pipe work connectionleakages, leaking float type drains, flow meters etc.

Graph B shows the same compressed air system with an AIR-SAVER installed. The lightblue movements are the compressor in running mode. At 4 pm you see that the workingshift ends and that the AIR-SAVER is programmed to close.

The result is that the pressure in the pipe work beyond the AIR-SAVER is lost as you seethe pressure drops to 0 bar. The produced compressed air stored in the air receiver issaved and the compressor does not require to kick on and off to bring the air pressure upto a certain level.

Savings achieved with the AIR-SAVER are:

• Valuable and expensively produced compressed air.• Electricity for running the compressor.• Wearing parts of the compressor.• Compressor servicing costs due to unnecessary compressor operating hours.• Other wearing parts like compressed air filter elements due to unnecessary

operating hours.

AIR LEAKS

Air leaks are a concern for anyone operating a compressed air system. The average plantwith no formal leak management program can have air leaks that waste up to 30 percentof the total air capacity.

Leaks will cause compressors to run at full load for longer periods of time. Thecompressors will not only use more energy, but may also need additional maintenance dueto the increased loads.

Leaks can give the false impression that additional compressors are required to meet thedemand for compressed air.

COMMON LEAK POINTS

• Quick connections fittings have o-rings to seal the hose connections. A damaged ormissing o-ring will cause the connection to leak.

• FRL’s (filter, regulator & lubricator). Inlet and outlet connections and bottom drainagepoint can leak.

• The welds found on pipe joints and pipe flanges can leak due to vibrations, age orimproper welding.

• Float or mechanical type condensate drains can also be a source of air leaks, becausethe operating mechanics can get stuck in the open or closed position.

• Pipe thread connections, air tools and many more sources can be the cause of airleakages.

LOCATOR

The Locator is an ultrasonic air leak detector and is a necessary part of a leak preventionprogram.

When a gas passes through a restricted orifice under pressure, it is going from apressurised laminar flow to low pressure turbulent flow. The turbulence generates a broadspectrum of sound. There are ultrasonic components in the sound and since the ultrasoundwill be the loudest by the leak location, the detection of these signals is usually quitesimple.

The Locator is easy to use and highly effective at finding compressed air leaks.

AIR-SAVER

The compressed air that is stored in the receiver can leak out through the abovementioned sources of air leaks. This is a direct waste of energy and money.

The Air-Saver is installed on the air piping that comes out of a receiver tank. It can beprogrammed to automatically open just prior to the start of a work shift and close justafter the end of the work shift.

The Air-Saver is an improvement to any compressed air system with the above mentionedair leak problems and has a fast payback.

LOCATORCompressed air energy saver

PRODUCT FEATURES

The LOCATOR is an ultrasonic compressed air leak detector that detects leakages incompressed air systems at a distance up to at least 10 meters.

The ultrasonic technology allows for easy and fast detection of leakages and productionactivity may continue when applying the LOCATOR. The headset and the LED display allow foraudible and visual confirmation of all compressed air leakages.

The decibel meter can be adjusted to filter out ambient noise levels and pin-point the exactlocation of a specific air leak.

The LOCATOR makes locating air leaks simple and cost effective.

A deluxe version of the LOCATOR with hard-hat head set, that meets ANSI specifications andOSHA standards with over 23 dB of noise attenuation is also available as LOCATOR D-LUX.

Furthermore, special FM, CSA and ATEX proof versions are available – Please consult factory.

COMMERCIAL BENEFITS

• Ultrasonic air leak detection to save money.• SMT/solid state hybrid heterodyne receiver.• Supplied in a case, complete with headset and rubber focussing probes.• Production can continue when applying the LOCATOR.• Fully automatic - no maintenance.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

• Leaks will be detected from a distance (up to at least 10 meters).• Highly effective in locating leaks and incredibly simple to apply.• Very little time is required to locate leaks throughout a factory.

The LOCATOR is suppliedin representative case.

AIR-SAVER G1Compressed air energy saver

PRODUCT FEATURES

A typical compressed air system has air loss through pipe work connections, leaking floattype drains etc.

The AIR-SAVER G1 is a motorised ball valve that is installed in the compressed air line afterthe air receiver. The AIR-SAVER G1 opens and closes the air supply to the factory, based oncustomer specific working shifts.

The AIR-SAVER G1 will open the ball valve at the beginning of a working shift and close theball valve when the working shift is over. From that point on, all compressed air will remainin the air receiver until the next working shift, rather than being lost through leakages.

The clever and versatile programming feature allows for customer specific settings and istotally adaptable to the working hours of each individual factory.

The AIR-SAVER G1 can be installed in all pipe line systems up to 1”. Remote switching kitsare available to operate the AIR-SAVER G1 from a distance.

COMMERCIAL BENEFITS

• Microprocessor controlled (7 day program feature - multiple cycles possible each day - )• Fully automatic - no maintenance• External push button controls (disassembly not necessary)• Easy to program• LCD displaying the program cycle and the current time• Small compact design• Each individual day can be programmed according to specific working day shift requirements


• 1" Orifice.• FPM seals.• Stainless steel ball, valve is nickel plated brass.• Slow ball valve rotation 90 degrees in 30 seconds

(designed to avoid water-hammer when opening or closing).

The WARNER is a condensatemanagement warning system.When condensate managementproducts require maintenance, theWARNER contacts the maintenanceengineer via the mobile telephonenetwork.

Condensate management plays avital role in creating andmaintaining a reliable compressedair system.

Compressed air systems mayincorporate electronic zero air-lossdrains (KAPTIV-CS) with alarmfeature and oil/water separators(SEPREMIUM) with elementindicating features.

The WARNER contacts themaintenance engineer when thereis a maintenance opportunity.

The WARNER takes away theguess-work of whether thecondensate management systemis operating according toexpectation.

The maintenance engineer canrespond immediately and willnever again have to miss amaintenance opportunity, or losethe deal to a competitor.
